- LOCK.

Z a-all iii/mm it-may concern:

Be it knownethat I. EDWARD LoNG, a-citizen ot the United States, residing at Burke,

in th county oi. Shoshone and State of Idaho. have invented :new and useful Improvements in Locks,'of which the following' is a specification.

.This invention relatesto combination locks and has for an object the provision of a lock of this type in which a chain carried pin may be locked within a stationary casing so as to adapt the lock for use in connection with motorcycles and the like.

Another object of the invention is the pro vision of novel means for locking the pin within thecasmg. to securely hold thesame against unauthorized removal, means being provided for readily releasing the pin by a person familiar with the operation of the lock. 7

Another object is the provision of novel means for supporting and holding the lock mechanism within the casing to facilitate the ready assembling of the Various parts ofthe'lock mechanism in manufacture and tope'rmit the lock to be easily taken apart and reassembled if necessary.

'llVith the above and other objects in view, the invention further includes the following novel. .iea'tu'res and details of construction,

to be hereinafter more fullydescribed. illustrated in the accompanying drawings :and.

' the lock in locked position. v

pointed out in the appended claims.

Inthe drawings: I o i Figure '1 is an elevation of a lock embody inn the. present invention. Figure 2 is an endvi'ewof the same.

Figure 13 is a transverse sectional view taken-on a line with one 'ofthe dlsks or tumblers.

Figure 4 is a longitudinal section showing:

Figure is a similar view unlocked."

igure 6 is-a transverse section taken on a "line-with the removable pin and showing the latter in locked position.

Figure 7 is a similar view unlocked.

Figure 8 1s a detail perspective view of the sleeve which receives the locking bolt and supports "the tumblers or disks.

Figured) is a similar view of the locking Figure 10 is a like -V16WOf one of the V tumblers or disks.

Figure 11 1s an inner face view of one of the end nlates of the casing showing the stud =carriedthereby.

. Figure :12 is a detail perspectiveview of theremovablepin l I Reterringin detail 'to the drawings, Wherein like characters of reference denotecorresponding parts, the referencecharacter 15 indicates the lock casing,

-which casing is 7 shown as of cylindrical formation and which 7 'the endof the sleeve and receives a stud 22 carried by the end plate' 16, the said stud being provided with a key 23 which is receivable in one-end of a =sl0t 24- which extends longitudinallyof the sleeve 1-7. The sleeve is thus I securely supported within the casing in a manner-to prevent either'rotary o'r'longitudinal'movement; I 3 1 Mounted for sliding movement within the sleeve 17 is a bolt 25, one end-of this bolt where it is provided with a knurled operatins knob 25". The bolt is further provided extending beyond the end of the casing,

with a transversely arranged notch 26 which adapted to be moved-into and out of register with a slot 27 which is formed transverselv in the sleeve 17The casing of the lock is'prov-ided with a slot 28 which is 10-' rated opposite the slot 27 ofthe sleeve 17, the said slots being adapted to accommodate a pin 29. which is removable upon the c'as imz; This pin is formed with anotch BO and when in-lockedposit1on.thi s*notch is arranged over the "bolt 25 so that longitudinalmovementof the pin is prevented. In-order to prevent movement of the pin in any dther direction. the said pin spaced ing. the plates being-connectedbya segment which forms a'bottomior'the grgove and aids in holding the plates in position. v V

Rotatably'mounted upon the'sleeve 17 are disks or tumblers 34. which arespaced apart rings being secured to 35 are split and have to provide slots 36 by rings 35. the said the sleeve- The rings their ends spaced apart which are in register with the sleeve 17. The disks or tumblers 34 are prooperates within" a 7 slot 24 of the vided with notches 37, Whichare' adapted to be brought into and out of'register with the slot 24.

Extending from the bolt 25 are spaced lingers 38, the said fingers extending throu h the slot 24 and being movable through t e slots 36 of the spacing rings 35. These fingers are so proportioned as topermit them 'to be positionedcbetweenthe disks or turnblers 34 so that the latter may be rotated to move their notches 37 outof alignment with the slots 24 and 36. In this position,'the notch 26 will be out of register with the slot 27 and the pin 29 held against removal from the casing, while by rotating the disks or tumblers 34 to align the notches 37 with the slots 24 and 36, the fingers may be moved into or" through thenotches 37 by the outward movement of the bolt 25. The notch 26 and slot 2? may thus be brought into register and the pin withdrawn.

The lock is especially adapted for useupon '7 motorcycle'sorbicycles and for the purpose of securing the'lock in position, there is provided'a clamp which includes members 39 I and 40, the former being permanently secured to the-end plates-16, while the latter is removably. secured to the former: through t the medium of bolts of similar fastening devices asshown. By this means'the lock may be secured upon a. suitable portion of]: the

frame of the motorcycle'orbicycle and when once :secured in position, the bolts may be upset to prevent theremoval of the nuts. A chain'41 has one end secured to the clamp and its other end secured to an eye providedin the pin' 29 and this chain may be engaged around the rim of thewheel or other suitable part of the motorcycle and when the pin 29 is locked in position, unanthorizeduse of the motorcycle will be pretumblers 34 may be sojarranged with respect to the notches 37 as to vprovideditl'erent com blnations of 1 changes in? its form, proportions-and minor i "1 properlywfa-ll within'the' scope of the'ap details ot-construction" and--the right is herein reserved to 'makesuch'rhanges as pended-claims.
